<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 25982950, member: 22377&quot;]As an ode to [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER] I present the sequel to the battle of pedigrees. </p><p>Over 15 years ago, Lehigh did a cool competition where he compared toned Morgans from the Battle Creek and Great Falls Collections (see links below; there is also a 3rd link to some posts about the Great Falls Collection). I did not plan to recreate his project (nor is this very close) but I did happen to pick up one Morgan from each pedigree this year. The Battle Creek was purchased earlier in the year and then I stumbled onto the Great Falls a few days ago via an eBay search. I will include my notes from the top 10 thread and the pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please take a look at the two coins and vote for your favorite pedigree; please add any comments you may have, including if you picked based on color or some other factor.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>Here are the links to some entertaining reading plus some pretty coins:</i></b></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-ngc-signature-set-rainbow-wars-part-1-a-battle-of-the-pedigrees.41598/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-ngc-signature-set-rainbow-wars-part-1-a-battle-of-the-pedigrees.41598/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-ngc-signature-set-rainbow-wars-part-1-a-battle-of-the-pedigrees.41598/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/wcm/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=703" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/wcm/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=703" rel="nofollow">https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/wcm/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=703</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/great-falls-collection.85412/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/great-falls-collection.85412/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/great-falls-collection.85412/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>And here are the coins for the sequel:</i></b></p><p><br /></p><p>1887 Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-64 ★ (Battle Creek Collection)</p><p><br /></p><p>....this Morgan I did not win when it came up in 2023; in 2024 I was determined to get it and was successful (for a little less than it brought the first time!). There was some controversy on Instagram concerning if this coin was truly a Battle Creek but that did not bother me. I liked it and am glad to have it.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fphotos.greatcollections.com%2F0%2F1538916-3.jpg&amp;hash=f2574d047072142fddebfad5583ef43e" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1652855[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS-63 ★ (Great Falls Collection)</p><p><br /></p><p>...this Morgan was picked up after my top 10 list and it was just too nice not to include! An eBay find I wasn&#039;t planning on, but after staring at it and debating, I figured I should buy it. Good thing that I did because the colors are fantastic and it&#039;s another collection pedigree to add to my Battle Creek plus Binion.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fus.v-cdn.net%2F6027503%2Fuploads%2Feditor%2F78%2Fdih5c71ilpci.jpeg&amp;hash=a4797952bf902b1bab6314e8390823a9" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fus.v-cdn.net%2F6027503%2Fuploads%2Feditor%2F1y%2Fkzdm9rz66gmc.jpeg&amp;hash=8ea2ad6b925fabbc611a8b97dc880b3f" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fus.v-cdn.net%2F6027503%2Fuploads%2Feditor%2F5a%2Fr0v1ficce6jm.jpeg&amp;hash=0f5158f07319e4caf6e01c5a2754d6ff" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
